However, on the days that I do cook, I mostly cook Asian dishes because that\u2019s what I am most familiar with. Now Safeway, Target, and Walmart do not carry Asian products. So, where do I get my ingredients from? Well I do have to go a little out of my way, but it is worth it. There are three supermarkets that I like to go to, each for different reasons.<\/p>\n<p>H-Mart<\/p>\n<p>H-Mart is a supermarket chain that mostly sells Korean products, but can still find other Asian products. Out of all the supermarkets I go to, I go here the most often because (1) they sell almost everything you need, (2) offer the best quality of produce, and (3) offer a variety of options.<\/p>\n<p>Paldo World<\/p>\n<p>Paldo World, another Korean based supermarket is a slightly cheaper version of H-Mart. But with the price, comes less variety and produce quality. However, in my opinion, I find that the quality of meat is better here than in H-mart. In addition, they have the lowest prices for rice.<\/p>\n<p>Hong Kong Market<\/p>\n<p>Hong Kong Market, as its name implies, is a Chinese based supermarket (however, it is run by Vietnamese people, so you will tend to find more Vietnamese products than Chinese). I occasionally go here for some items that are not offered in H-Mart or Paldo World. Things like certain hot pot ingredients, specific kinds of produce, and roasted duck\/ soy sauce chicken.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a previous post, I wrote about my top 5 favorite restaurants around Puget Sound.
